उत्तिष्ठ Uttishtha
Arise with knowledge from the Gita & Upanishads
Your inner self: friend or foe? Choose kindness and understanding.
बन्धुरात्मात्मनस्तस्य येनात्मैवात्मना जितः । अनात्मनस्तु शत्रुत्वे वर्तेतात्मैव शत्रुवत् ॥
Bhagavad Gita 6.6
For one who has mastered themselves, the self is a friend. For one who has not, their own self acts like an enemy.
Right now, you feel pressure. The Gita says that your own self can either be a friend or an enemy. Treat yourself with kindness and understanding; be your own support.
Pause, and ask yourself: 'What would a kind friend say to me right now?'
